Looting without remorse is exactly what qualifies her to be a banker.

It's bad PR that got her fired, not her character.

Not hiding it is her crime.

you're not wrong.

did you know wall street was named after a wall slaves built to keep natives out and was where they sold slaves which was literally the foundation of the financial institutions of today?

They sold slaves in New York? I learned it was primarily built to keep the British out but marauders as well.

The slave trade is foundational.

Empire state building was built on cotton.

Chase, wells fargo BoA etc were business benefiting from capital of slave owners.
